If Spain and Croatia draw 2-2 they both go through. Sweden Denmark did in in 04 and guess who got knocked out because of it then? Yep that's right the perennial match fixers themselves, those greasy Italians

Paddy Power being absolute pricks with the payouts. Torres to get the golden boot was 18/1. He got the golden boot due to being the highest scorer in the least amount of match time. They're saying it's a dead heat because 6 others finished on 3 goals so they divided all stakes by 6. So your €10 bet instead of winning you 190 quid now wins you €31.66. Bastards.

did you write golden boot or top scorer? top scorer bet dosent matter if he had more or less mins on the pitch, dead heat is fair enough imo

They're saying it doesn't matter if you had golden boot or top goalscorer it's like a team going through on penos. Still counts as a draw. So Torres got golden boot but they still count it as everyone being equal. Had that little rant before I found out it's common procedure but I still think that's mad unfair.

i dont think they take the "golden boot" bets do they? they take top scorer so it would be massively unfair not to pay out on the rest imo

So You were paid a 6th odds on your Spain/Torres special? I'd challenge that Slav, thats not right.

I was just on to my sister. She is a customer care (or something) in powers. Said the Spain/Torres double is settled as full odds but on a 1/6th stake. Getting it in the neck all day over it apparently.

With Top Goalscorer markets there is always a possiblity of players tied on the same number of goals. This can generate dead heats (especially for places in each way bets) and this can be tricky to understand. We have provided an explanation below:
Winner/Top Goalscorer dead heats

With the Winner/Top Goalscorer doubles market you are backing a team to win the European Championships along with a player to be Top Goalscorer. It is possible for more than one player to be the Top Goalscorer, in this event dead heat rules are applied to your bet. The stake is divided by the total number players tied and paid out at the full odds.

Example: You back Germany to win the European Championships and Ozil to be the Top Goalscorer at 66/1 for a £15 stake. If Rooney, Torres and Ozil all finish as joint top scorers on five goals each, there are three joint winners in this market and a dead heat is applied to your bet. The bet is settled as as £5 (one third of £15 based on three joint top scorers) at odds of 66/1. Total returns: £335.

Please note: Goals scored in extra-time count for Top Goalscorer markets but goals scored in penaly shootouts do not count.
